based on salamatullah's post 100% but like sometimes the whole "people aren't actually looking at you!" or "people arent judging you in public!" shit is just straight up not true LMAO like me and salams are niqabis, you think we're not getting stared at in public?? you think people arent judging us? saying shit to and about us??? like when youre not white, fat, using mobility aids, wearing religious garments or Ethnic clothing, visibly disabled, gender noncomforming, or just anything outside the cishet skinny white abled christian norm....people are looking at you in public! so as well meaning as "dont worry no one is judging you" is, the reality for a lot of us is learning to cope while knowing we are actively and sometimes violently judged
like imo its better to acknowledge that there are people who will judge you than to comfort yourself with the (oftentimes) lie of "no one is looking at you!" because when you get confronted with someone who is staring and judging what protections or coping skills have you built up by saying "No One Judges Me, No One Looks At Me"? your sense of self and mental health is better when you interrogate the thoughts and feelings that arise when you feel you're being judged and have protective factors and coping skills to keep you stable as you navigate public spaces. yall get what i mean?
if you learn to love bugs with all your heart the world will feel half as hostile and a thousand times as big
Theres a sentiment I'm noticing in the tags that I'd like to address. I dont think learning to love bugs with all your heart means forcing yourself out of discomfort you have with them overnight. It's about observing a different sort of being going about its life and deliberately trying to reframe your observations through a sense of wonder and delight. It's about cultivating a positive interest and curiosity for their ecology and behaviors. It's especially about trying to uncouple the value we find in them from how 'convenient' they are to us; to face head on the part of us that wants to assign moral evil to another organism who just happens to live life in a way that is not harmonius with ours. You can love insects in this way and still recognize your own health and safety needs. We are animals living side by side within a biosphere. This is how it is, sometimes.
I think this is important to cultivate because, if you are alive at all, you are coming into conflict with countless other people and things that dont owe you an apology for their existance and needs. If you are alive at all, you are encountering countless other people and things that harmful bias and personal discomfort have made repulsive to you. This is about bugs, but its also about way more than bugs.
i actually think one of the worst (and least talked about) harms of growing islamophobia in the west is the ease with which its leveraged as domestic propaganda over here. it's truly free real estate
imo this is best represented by the relationship between greece and turkey. mitsotakis in greece is like ooh the evil muslims are gonna invade us vote for me his counterpart is like ooh the evil west is conspiring against us vote for me. and they both get elected <3
imo this is also the least talked about consequence of western military intervention in the middle east, especially covert intervention. like they just handed a centuryâs worth of conspiratorial propaganda to opportunistic despots in addition to funding fundamentalists all over the place. but haha i guess
I am taking everyone who made a poll to gauge the True Percentage of Queers on Tumblr and putting them through a statistics course

loudly going "YOU'RE GOOD YOU'RE GOOD" to myself to ward off the memory of every embarrassing thing i've ever done
I've been on a bit ob a Russell Crowe movie binge in the past few weeks and since he is almost sixty now, many of the movies I've watched were consequently older movies. and when I watched them, it struck me again, how much hollywood has changed in the last few decades when it comes to depicting men.
take Gladiator for example from the year 2000. Russell Crowe plays basically an action hero in it. he is a big, muscly dude, who is very strong and uses that strength to defeat his enemies. and this is what he looks like:
looks like a strong man, right?
in the same year, Hugh Jackman as Wolverine looked like this in the first X-men movie:
in 2013 the same character played by the same actor looked like this:
it's a bit much, isn't it? I mean, he looks so skinny.
and if we go even further back: look at what the womanizer character Face from the A-team looked like in the 80s show vs the 2010 movie reboot:
maybe the difference isn't that big but it really startled me when I watched that movie for the first time. in my mind there was no reason why Face should be particularly muscular since he is the charming one not the one known for being particularly strong.
if we go even further back, look at the charmin womanizer character Hawkeye in M*A*S*H from the 70's.
I know he's a doctor and there is no reason for him to be ripped but I got the feeling if they did the show now, he would be.
I don't know what my point really is I'm just saying I got a bit nostalgic when watching these men. I cannot be the only one who'd rather see more of this:
than this:
also, as a sidenote: Russell Crowe gained a lot of weight for the nice guys and he is a fucking powerhouse in that film, like, when he punches someone, you really feel it because of the weight that is behind it and the shere mass of his body.
(even if this may look different, he's about to break Ryan Gosling's character's arm. I couldn't find a gif of him punching someone but I swear it looks painfull as hell.)
so, in short: can we get big, heavy action guys back? cause I'm tired of seeing these skinny, despite being muscular dudes who look dehydrated as hell and on steroids.
and can we stop making characters ripped just for the sake of it? cause I'd rather cuddle with a guy looking like Hawkeye than one looking like Face from the new A-team movie.
dorito chip style
It's really important to note that this isn't real. Multiple actors have come out and said in order to get these shots they have to go through periods of severe dehydration, extreme multi-hour work-outs, and quite often, use drugs. This is an artificial look, created in an artificial environment. It causes people real harm to try to replicate it.
putting up âHELL IS FAKEâ billboards in ohio to start a dialogue
putting up âOHIO IS HELLâ billboards in ohio to continue the dialogue
putting up âOHIO IS OTHER PEOPLEâ billboards in ohio to confuse the dialogue
putting up âOHIO IS FAKEâ billboards in Ohio, just for shits and giggles
Putting up âWELCOME TO PENNSYLVANIAâ billboards in Ohio just to see what happens
a lot of anti-historian stuff comes across like âi want history to be simple and i am suspicious of people who tell me itâs notâ and this is a thing you see from people on any place on the political spectrum

Finally another work in progress.
Like, "you really gonna shade this whole thing in little tiny ink lines?"
I'm gonna do it.
Next two stages of inking, but still a ways from finished.
At some point I'll get this finished onto my scanner and post it on my art blog.
being so fr when I say that transmisogyny has put feminism back like 50 years
what i thought we had distanced ourselves from was the reduction of women to vaginas and wombs and the ability to bear children. i thought we had progressed past âdresses are for women and pants are for men.â i thought we progressed past the idea that someone is less of a woman if she does not adhere strictly to beauty standards. i thought we progressed past the idea that naturally being comfortable adhering to highly feminine standards is vulgar. but i (sarcastically) guess no one could have predicted that trans-exclusive feminism would be the downfall of all the progress weâve made
âWeâre in danger of losing what the entire second wave of feminism, what the entire second wave of womenâs liberation was built on, and that was âBiology is not destinyâ. âOne is not born a woman,â Simone de Beauvoir said, âone becomes oneâ. Now thereâs some place where transsexual women and other women intersect. Biological determinism has been used for centuries as a weapon against women, in order to justify a second-class and oppressed status. How on Earth, then, are you going to pick up the weapon of biological determinism and use it to liberate yourself? Itâs a reactionary tool.â
â Quote by Leslie Feinberg, from TransSisters: The Journal of Transsexual Feminism, issue 7, volume 1. 1995.
If youâre at high risk of serious illness or death from Covid-19, itâs time to dust off those N95 masks and place them snugly over your nose
Just fyi for everyone the new strain DOES have the capability to do breakthrough infections (meaning if youâve had your shots or COVID within the last two or three months you can get it again - only 2 confirmed cases in the US as of this morning though), no we donât know if the new vaccine coming in September will be protective enough, and yes a lot of our overarching medical bodies are letting us doctors know that those who are elderly and/or are immunocompromised should be wearing a mask.
actually none of you should have ever stopped wearing masks in the first place, hope this helps đ
đđđ THANK YOU LAST COMMENT!!
Ran into another masked person at work yesterday. I told her it was nice to see someone else masking up, and she cheerfully told me that she hadn't gotten sick since she started wearing masks to work and she had absolutely no intention of getting a cold again this season. I think we would have high fived if we hadn't been politely staying 6 ft apart
wish you guys would hate norway for the intense medical transphobia the way you hated swedes for not feeding people. we couldnt get a legal gender marker change without forced sterilisation until 2016. theres 1 board in 1 hospital in the whole country that's allowed to give HRT and they go by 1950s gender roles (i.e. if you're a trans man who wears nail polish, or a trans woman who wears pants, or you're gay, you're denied), and there's a minimum of a full year of psychological evaluations before any treatment is given (they ask helpful and relevant questions like "did you play with cars or dolls as a child" and "do you think about your parents when you masturbate"). anyway burn down rikshospitalet
[ID: tumblr tags that read #i hope im not deflecting when i say this happens in other countries as well #i'm german and it's basically the same here. forced chemical sterilization was required to change your gender marker until 2011 #and if self-id doesn't pass we will continue to have to put up with insane amounts of medical gatekeeping #it's disgusting and dehumanizing and i need more people to talk about this #it's a widespread issue that countries that have a rep for being progressive don't get criticized enough. end ID]
you're absolutely not deflecting, this is super important. so many european countries claim equality and good healthcare while also actively killing trans populations with medical neglect and gatekeeping.
we are being murdered by our governments. they are refusing us life saving medical care. we NEED more people to talk about this
imo the worst thing about students using chatgpt is not that it's going to undermine academia or whatever it's that it's indicative of a wider trend where it seems like people across many age groups and disciplines and levels of expertise have all fully bought into openai's marketing hype and genuinely believe chatgpt Thinks and can make decisions
my friend was telling me about her boss who just. opens up chatgpt and asks it whenever she asks them a question. and shit like that or softbank ceo masayoshi son asking chatgpt to help him come up with business strategies are like. genuinely terrifying!

as a child I wondered why adults were so stupid (doing things out of habit/routine/heuristics rather than reasoning explicitly about what to do based on their goals) and the answer is that adults are unimaginably fucking tired all the time

"Blorbo from my shows" this, "blorbo from my videogames" that. What about "blorbo from my DnD game" that only three other people know. Do you ever think about that-
